The wheels are very heavy at 1913g. A proper racing wheelset/tire/cassette/rotor will drop at least 500g if not more. I have some american classic hubs here waiting to be built on stans crest and dt revolution spokes, with continental raceking racesport tires, sram XX cassette and KCNC rotor with Ti bolts, should be light.

I could also cut the seatpost and save something like 25-35g.

hope you like it!

Nice details on the brakes

And on the rear derailleur

Also on the brake caliper

12mm rear axle

internal cable routing

the routing exits a removable port near the BB. The routing is easily done removing the port which leaves a big hole to exit cables

Nice build, you have an eye for the small details.. Further to that will you be rotating the brake banjos on the calipers to smooth the transition to the fork and the seat stay? The brake lines also seem quite long a free bit of weight savings..

if I rotate the bango, do I need to adjust anything or its a simple operation?

thanks guys, looking foward to ride the bike for the first time soon...!

Loosen the 8 mm banjo bolt about 1/4 turn, rotate it into place and then re-tighten the banjo bolt. No other steps are required, very easy to do..

first ride yesterday, a bit over 1 hour on the trails and 2 hours on dirt roads. It does keep its speed a lot better over small to medium roots. There is obviously more traction when climbing and cornering. Unfortunately, I couldnt push it at its best in the corners cause the trails were covered in wet maple leafs, very very slippery. On dirt roads, it keeps its speed better and rolls smoother. Very nice bike, I cant wait to push it hard in the trails and get a racing wheelset!

the bike is harder to bunnyhop/wheelie VS my 26inim not used yet to the slightly slower sterring, which makes me miss the good lines in faster technical sectionsharder to pumpthe rollover hability is neglectable over medium to big rootsa bit harder to accelerate (heavy wheels)

the bike rolls fast and really keeps its speed, especially on flat parts and descentsthere is more traction on climbs and corners

Overall I love the bike and cant wait to really get used to it, the trails are still covered in wet leafs so its hard to really hammer it.
